So far the only achievement I haven't unlock is getting married or having a kid. I think I owe myself my first Rolex. Thinking of either one of these. I also like the Rhodium but it looks pretty plain in person compared to the blue.

-which one?

-benefits of each?

-what you like about each?

-do you think I should wait?

Breitling Blackbird, Sinn 903, Seamaster Pro, or Speedy Pro

Any other suggestions under 3500. My only stipulation right now is 100m of water resistance with the exception of the speedy.

Have you considered the Milgauss? Certainly more unique if you csre about that sort of thing

You're a fucking tool holy shit.

>He brags like this in a watch thread on an Indonesian basket weaving image board

Who makes cheap artsy watches? I'd get a Swatch but they're a bit too juvenile. Is Mondaine or Daniel Wellington good? I'm into that graphic design aesthetic

>he talks like a BUS 101 powerpoint presentation

lel also don't get a rolex you walking stereotype

Look at some cheapish Nomos homages.

Rider and Rodina and Tisell are a few

Why did the thread got deleted?

it's really hilarious that Chinese Tudor is imperceptible from the real thing.

western brands are a sham

maybe because people were reposting personal info

Mondaine is probably the most interesting out of all that you named.
Braun is pretty cool too but might be overpriced.

Fleiger

That's a leather nato and you can't spell flieger properly.

Anyone can identify this watch ?

What are you guys wearing today?
This pic shows how shitty the crystal is on the SNK. I don’t even abuse this watch.

how's the shit going m8?

Pretty textbook to he honest.

Here's mine. I took it to do some manual labor few times but side from that one scratch, the crystal is still looking pretty good. Have this one around a year now.

my watch keeps stopping at the same point, like the seconds is getting stuck? If I give it a swing, or pull out the crown and put it back in, it starts moving again. Any ideas?

Is there an SNK809 with kanji day wheel?

yeah, throw it in the bin

If I was getting my first Rolex I wouldn't get either of those. Datejust / DayDate / Sub / GMT would be my choices.

:(

Take it to service.

What the fuck is this thread? Who the hell still uses a watch??! Not even hipsters I think. Wearing a watch in 2018 is akin to bringing a crossbow to work. It's embarrassing. Inconvenient. It just shows how far you've fallen behind times.
>b-but what about smart watches
Those are even worse, because anyone into tech knows they're worthless and serve no real function.

Jewlery that is socially accepted for men to wear (northern europe):

>watches
Yes preferred, majority wears it

>necklaces
Accepted, as long as it's not of precious metals and other shiny materials (should be a leather strap with something simple), but very few above 25 wears any.

>bracelets
Accepted in many social groups, like hipsters or the likes. Few above 25 will be wearing any, and the overall majority will not be using any.

>rings
Only accepted in some odd social groups (wedding rings being the obvious exception). By the majority this is not accepted.

>earrings and piercings
Not at all, except in some odd social groups. By the majority this is not accepted.

>Bagel today britbro
Thats not me, I've got my SARB on today.

You have shit taste but the Seamaster is the only one somewhat worth the $3500.

The rest are severely overpriced.

Also never buy a Speedmaster profesional new.

Not totally imperceptible.

Blue dials are so beautiful.

any of those can be blamed on the subpar camera and lighting

Bracelets makes it look like as if he is a pimp or a homosexual.

Armhair looks shaved too.

And he's got a tattoo. I just can't stand tattoos. It's for criminals and hipsters.

Stop making shit up my dude. There are the rules of etiquette about jewellery and what you can and what you can't where on a certain type of event.

I'm not making any of it up. That is what is socially acceptable, at least in Scandinavia. In my post I tried to make it short with generalizations, so it's not meant to be interpretated as firm rules or anything. And obviously some people will see it differently. But that is the general take of how acceptable those jewleries are for men to be wearing in Scandinavia.

I find them really boring. I think I view of blue watches died with those awful 90s seamasters which looked like hot garbage.

I guess we are all different. Which colors on dials do you prefer?

blue is ugly as shit

Same question to you

Wrong post?

Black seems to be my most common choice.
And white or pale gold for dress watches.

Saying that I do like the blue Pelagos.

I want to buy this watch but hand winding seems like such a chore

It's really not, give it a few winds before you put it on in the morning and a few when you take it off.
